Answer:

Yes! But through their sons.

Explanation:

During the dynastic period of Chinese history, emperors were usually male. However, if an emperor died and left their son the empire at a very young age, the young emperor's mother would take control until he was old enough to rule. These women were known as Empress Dowagers, and they often continued ruling through their sons even once they were old enough to rule independently.

An example of this is the Empress Dowager Cixi - who ruled through her son the Tongzhi emperor and then later her nephew, the Guangxu emperor. She held a lot of power and, while she was not technically the emperor, she was recognized as the person in control.

Therefore the answer is,

yes, women were emperors of china.
